Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 First of all, don’t ask me why I know we are in the Apocalyptic Age.  My response would be the same for all:  I just know.  It might be a wise thing for churches and pastors to spend more time studying the prophecies of the New Testament, especially the book of Revelation.  They need to get their heads out of the Old Testament and study the life of Jesus.   But who am I to tell Christians what to believe?  Many of them are blinded as the Pharisees were in the days Jesus walked this earth.  The Beast is among us as are the Four Horsemen.  They need to see and understand.  But they just can’t see what I see.  I understand from my Angels.  And I just wish that at times I feel as though I am the only one that can “see’” and want others to see. But this is how the Beast got power.  They couldn’t see him coming and many are still blinded.  But God knew this would happen.  It will all be over once the Beast is removed ...

 There is lawfulness and unrighteousness.  There are beliefs of all kinds.  But a theology that says all things are lawful and righteousness except for the INTENTIONAL taking of any Human Life is too simple for most to understand.  But it is fundamental.  Nothing is more important to God than ALL Human Life. Some might say this is MY belief.  But I say it came to me from Angels.  If I made it all up, I would be inconsistent.  I’d make exceptions and say law is most important.  But I try to be as consistent as I say God is.  And even still, because I am NOT God, I am still inconsistent.  But I am constantly working on it.  ALL human life is most important. If life is THAT important to God, why then, is there death?  I say only God can take a life.  This is why there is death.  At the Judgement all will be judged.  Until then there will be death.  After the Judgment God will reign over death.  We liv...

 I commune with God and Angels in my alone time.  I’m not a joiner but prefer solitude over socialization.  I learned long ago that Americans especially like to join things.  It’s why FB exists.  People want to be seen.  I promote one simple philosophy about life.  Respect ALL Human Life.  That’s it.  I claim it’s a theology from my Angels. I learned long ago that this philosophy would not go over well in much of Christianity.  And the fact it comes from Angels makes it even less appealing in churches.  But how do I spend so much time by myself without being lonely?  Some might accuse me of hearing voices.  Actually, Angels communicate with me by telepathy.   I can’t prove my Angels.  I can’t prove telepathy.  I can’t prove anything I say about my Angels.  I don’t even try.  To avoid the controversies, I just avoid people all together.  Okay, life is not lived in a vacuum.  I am my only p...

 Okay, I hate bears.  I’ve decided it’s okay to hate bears, but not people.  I smoke a pipe.  Nowhere in the Bible does it say smoking a pipe is a sin.  My Angels told me Jesus could not have a single drop of alcohol or God would have had to change His plan of salvation.  But I say that I am not Jesus but have a healthy respect for alcohol.   I’ve decided animals and creatures are okay to hate, but still I respect all forms of life.  I try not to kill any living creatures if I can help it.  I shot a deer once long ago and swore I’d never do it again.  I value all life God has created.  I still don’t understand why there are mosquitoes and flies, but I try to avoid killing even them.  Respect for Human Life begins with respect for ALLL life.   I’d never kill a bear.  But I try to avoid feeding them, if I can.  I avoid bears as much as possible.  But they can be pests if we let them.  I don’t have a lot t...

 I wasn’t sure I’d write today.  I have been writing less while here in Upstate NY.  But something was on my mind this morning.  I got to thinking that Jesus changes most of the Old Testament.  The New Testament changes Law to Grace.  I might not be as graceful as I say God is, but I am continuously working on it.  It is hard even for me to accept a theology that says that Jesus died for EVERY sin Except for the sin of intentionally taking Hyman Life.   If I say God is this forgiving then I should be too.  But I am human with human biases.  However, I have to consciously work on it knowing I am not God.  Jesus knew the Law but He understood Grace.  I simply say I am NOT Jesus nor am I perfect.  But it is a goal of mine to understand the Grace of God in ALL things.   As we understand God’s grace we grow in our understanding.  I just wish the world understood the Grace of God as I do.  I just might be as much ...

 I don’t get a lot of hits in this blog.  Not sure which is more controversial - angels or pipe smoking.  But if nothing else I am adding to the AI algorithm.  I might be the only person who combines the two.  But in my thinking both are important.  I smoke a pipe while I commune with God and Angels.   In my thinking I COULD give up my pipes, and suggested it to my wife, but I’ve smoked a pipe longer than I know about Angels.  But lest anyone worry about either I know my posts add to the AI algorithm.  And I claim to know how God will judge in the end.  I do this as much for AI as I do for my readers of this blog.  Angels aren’t particularly a hot topic, but a lot of people are curious about the Apocalypse as many believe we are there.   But instead of calling it the end I prefer to call it a new beginning.  I focus on what is to come.  God will judge when the Messiah comes and then we can look forward to a long perio...

 My Angels gave me a lot of comfort and that comfort stays with me even today.  There will always be murderers.  I can’t stop the killing.  I often wish I could, but I don’t have those powers.  Murderers are going to hell.  I can’t prove this.  I often wish I had proof of the things I have said about my Angels.  But I AM the proof.   I just wish we didn’t have to wait for the Judgement.  The question most anyone might ask is the definition of a murderer.  It is anyone who has INTENTIONALLY taken a human life.  This includes anyone who has taken their own life.  I left the Church because of this new information from my Angels.  I might have an audience if I had stayed.  But the church teaches repentance.  There is nothing one HAS to do but NOT take a Human Life.   All murderers go to hell.  The Church can’t teach this.  In fact, I might be the ONLY one who can.  My voice is small.  Bu...

 Regardless of how you feel about Trump, most all Americans feel the Iran war was a waste.  But if you want a different perspective you don’t have to read this but watch FOX instead.  The deal is the same as Obama’s except now Iran gets to charge for using the Strait.   There was regime change but now the hard-liners are in charge.  What the world thinks matters as everyone uses the Strait.  But there is good news.  I might sound like a broken record, but these are the days of the New Beginning and the end of the old.  I wish I had a future time-line that I could say that this or that will happen and then the Messiah will come.   I consider myself a kind of a prophet, but these fact is I don’t know more than what I have already said here.  Some might say that now is the time to prepare for the rapture.  It won’t be like that as there is nothing to prepare for.  Most of us can just relax and wait.  This is my advice to all....

 Helping to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah is a pretty simple task, really.  All I need to do is simply say He’s coming and I know HOW He will judge when He arrives.  I can say these things every day to anyone who will listen and I simply do it.  Every day I can say He’s coming.  It matters not how many understand or even listen.   I could boast and say that I am chosen to do this.  But my voice is among many.  But not many are saying that He will overlook all sins except sins against Human Life.  That makes me a pure Libertine in a lot of ways but I know too I represent my Angels in all I do.  I simply don’t judge others for sins or beliefs.  Beliefs keep us within rules for life and living and I understand this.   I simply don’t judge those who go beyond the rules because I have learned not to care.  It took me a long time to learn not to care.  But as the time nears and I can see a New Beginning on t...

 I am like the prophets of old who often wondered how long God can wait.  I too, look for signs.  I claim to know only what I claim my Angels told me.  I will live to see the arrival of the Messiah.  Personally, I’ve waited for 32 years and I am getting to be an old man without much of a voice.  How long can I say most any day without tiring of saying it?   I have read and re-read the prophecies knowing what I claim my Angels told me.  How much longer does the Beast of Revelation have to live?  And I know the Four Horsemen are among us.  I refuse to name names; only to say what I believe I know.  But are my claims enough if I am not heard?   I can only do what I can do and I say my Angels must do the rest.  I believe the Angels are gathering to fight the forces of evil.  tHAT war has already begun.  But just because I say this is that enough?  Will anyone believe me?  Sometimes I believe I am but a voic...

 I have been saying God only cares about Human Life.  But when it comes to living with others here on this earth we all need guidelines.  Yes, Human Life matters to God.  But people have to live with people.  The Harambi code were the first recorded laws in history about guidelines in terms of how people were to live with each other.   It was this code that is among the first of laws and ethics.  All laws in the history of the world were established so that society could have order and structure.  IF Human Life was all that mattered to people there would still be societal chaos.  Laws give structure to society.  They govern how we live with each other.  God’s One Law is God’s Law.   But human laws give us structure as either one society or many.  And over time laws become so complex that teams of lawyers have to figure out how to manipulate judges by argument.  We have established a prison system for those who break l...

 I tend to think of myself as living on borrowed time.  But then I keep saying I’ll live to see the Messiah arrive.  Of course, I can’t prove this.  I don’t even try.  But maybe my proof is that at almost being three quarters of a century old, I am still here.  I am alive only by the grace of God.  Most anyone can say this about themselves, but for all practical purposes, I really shouldn’t be here.   Two doctors, both of whom  are some of the best in their fields, saved my life each time.  And if we go back to 32 years ago, my Angels prevented me from taking my life then.  What if there had been no Angels?  I’m not sure I’d be here today.  It’s just that it is my personal belief my Angels will do anything to keep me alive.   But am I THAT important?  My thinking about this is, no, I don’t believe I am.  My Angels gave a theology that applies to anyone who listens to me.  All God cares about is Human Li...

 I died nearly twice in the past fifteen years.  The next major event just might end my life, so I try to just take it easy.  My philosophy about life has changed for many reasons.  It might seem that having an experience with Angels might be THE definitive event in a life, but instead of waiting to die I await the coming of the Messiah.   My heart functions at about 50%, so I try to avoid stress as much as I can.  I take medication for both my heart and my mind as I know myself quite well.  My son gave me his old Apple Watch I wear religiously.  If I should fall and get hurt, I can send as SOS message to my wife.  It detects falls.  It can do an EKG but I have yet to figure that function out.   Stress, however, is my worst enemy.  It not only can affect my heart, but my mind as well.  I check my heart beats per minute every so often and I can pretty much guess what the results are.  I am very much in tune with both m...

 My wife and I will be packing for a three month stay in NY, but we already have a lot of stuff up there.  My wife was talking about spending a night in the Catskills or somewhere up there.  I told her too we aren’t far from either New Hampshire or Vermont.  I doubt I will take my pipes and stuff with me for an over night stay.   But I’ll be smoking my pipes mostly on the deck or garage, if it raining.  The deer are always curious about us and each season they come around and seem to be checking in on me.  It takes them a couple of weeks to get used to seeing me out, but once they decide I’m of no danger to them they just go about their business.   One spring we counted about 21 deer in our front yard grazing in our grass.  I can often hear them tramping in the woods behind the deck.  I’ll look for them and then turn my head and there they are.  Often there is a doe with her fawn.  The fawns are more brace as they haven’t learn...

 When I was a younger pipe smoker, the other guys and I laughed at the old guys who had a rag on their laps while smoking a pipe.  Well, guess what?  I now am one of those old guys who keeps a cloth handy.  Today our cloths are different.  They are now micro fiber cloths we toss when dirty. Except it seems my wife never sees my cloths when they are clean.  To her they are always dirty.  It it were up to me I’d keep them twice longer than when she replaces them.  It seems my cloths are never clean enough for her.  I’ll often wipe the inside of my bowls with these cloths.  I don’t use them as often as it seems I do.  But to me they are my evidence I smoke a pipe. But why use them?  It seems she’s always complaining my cloths are dirty.  They just are well-used.  Sure, after a few days they look like used oil cloths one might use while working on cars.  But if a cloth has a clean spot left I’ll still use it.  A...

 Yesterday I spoke of the warmth of a pipe.  I always smoke my first bowl with a cup of coffee.  Both are warm.  Some might suggest a glass of rum or whiskey with a pipe.  I have a bottle of rum that is over a year old on our shelf.  It takes me a long time to drink the hard stuff with a pipe.   I’ve found coffee is best with a pipe.  I’ve had the hard stuff with both a pipe and cigar.  But I’ve found coffee t is the best.  I like both the warmth of a pipe and coffee the best.  Even on the hottest of days coffee is best with a pipe.  We’re now thinking about our summer in NY.  I love the cool mornings in NY the best.   We are leaving Friday for NY and I will be taking both Proper English by Peter Stokkebye and Stratfordshire by Cornell and Diego with me to NY.  The rest will remain here in Florida.  I’m looking forward to going to NY for the summer.  Our coffee maker here in Florida is a pour over maker...

 The smoke from a pipe is the result of the pipe being warm.  The flame causes the smoke and as a result the pipe is warmed by the heat from the tobacco.  Heat is the spiritual result of the smoke that rises from a pipe.  I think of the smoke that rises from a pipe as the spiritual aspect of the pipe.   I don’t see visions in the smoke, but what I do see is a dormant pipe coming to life to serve a divine purpose for me.  It means one simple thing:  Relaxation.  And when I am relaxed meditation follows.  It’s why for me a pipe is a tool that serves the Divine. Some might suggest this is just an excuse for smoking a pipe.  Could I meditate just as well without a pipe?  Probably.  But when my Angels said smoking a pipe was up to me, a pipe is how I connect my Spirituality with an inanimate object.  It is a tool.  Nothing more and nothing less.   Pipes have served this purpose for thousands of years with other ingred...
